 A petty, fractitious empire of arrogant, feuding bureaucrats. Relatively young, Haderoth seems destined to burn bright and fade quickly; it is apparent to most with a clear view of things that Haderoth is an empire in decline. At its greatest extent (within living memory of everything but a human), Haderoth dominated lands from the Ghastlands to the entire Valley of Titans. Haderoth has dropped to a third of its former size in less than half a century and is set to lose more to both separatist movements at home and foreign threats. It sits West of Zakarion, across the Middlesea. It is a militant, zealous nation. A petty, fractitious empire of arrogant, feuding bureaucrats.

-Haderoth is the center of the Orthodox Immotian church, though several sects and splinter groups exist. Notable sects include the Avazdeyans; and those who worship Immotian in the guide of Amarasha, lawful guide of fire and knowledge. The Orthodox church is the largest congregation in Barrow's Maw, run by the former adventurer Flaskz, but the Avazdeyan sect((some say cult)) is not unknown... and there are whispers that the Avazdeans were connected to [[characters:svenja_tegen|Svenja Tegen]], also a noted adventurer.+Haderoth is the center of the Orthodox Immotian church, though several sects and splinter groups exist.

-Immotian is generally agreed to abhor undead; however, the Avazdeyan church holds that skeletal undead whose "bones have been bleached by the sun" are allowable, and it is not unheard of to encounter a priest of Immotian in command of undead soldiers. How Immotian has not withdrawn Its grace is unknown.((There are whispers that some intermediary has interceded, and granted powers in lieu of Immotian's own...))+<WRAP hide> Immotian is generally agreed to abhor undead; however, the Avazdeyan church holds that skeletal undead whose "bones have been bleached by the sun" are allowable, and it is not unheard of to encounter a priest of Immotian in command of undead soldiers.
